Hello Fritz and everyone, Right, "g" is -in French - 'l'accélération de la pesanteur'and I suppose everybody remembers from school years what does 1/2gt2 refer to and Galileo's experiences dropping objects from the top of Pisa Tower. I did not invent the term 300G, I just repeated what our expert said. I am not a scientist but an egyptologist even though I have always been interested in sciences and especially in astronomy (I have belonged to a club for over 20 years) I see that there are among you, fellows at least one ingeneer and I am sure there are many more engineers or scientists and one of you could explain , much better than I'd do, what does the unit "g" refer to and why "g" is used when a body is launched or apparently "self launched". Besides, being French it's a little hard for me to give scientific explanations using the proper English words in a language which is not the tongue I used in school while studying scientific matters.
